Hi. I am Julie, I'm 41 years old and have been recently diagnosed with MS (March 20, 2014). I had an episode of optic neuritis 10, years ago, but I was told to watch it, but not told what to watch for.
Now I find out that if I had been put on preventative medication then I may not have had this last episode. This last episode effected my right arm and leg. I still have a funny, swinging gait, but not all the time. My neurologist said I might not regain full function, because the leision was so big on the left side of my brain.
Right now I live in Wiesbaden, Germany because my husband is in the Army. I work for the Army as well, as a Victim Advocate. My neurologist is German and wonderful. I start Tecfedera and physical therapy tomorrow. I'm just looking for information. Has anyone used diet to manage their symptoms? I am very interested in alternative treatments, but don't know where to start.
